Well, I finished the construction of the shirt from Simplicity 4923, the pirate costume. As I mentioned earlier, it was a very simple shirt, and I made it difficult for myself by deciding to embroider it.

It uses a dropped shoulder as a feature, and unfortunately they accomplish this by making the main torso section huge. They could have chosen a yoke, like the style of Simplicity 3519, and had the torso fit more comfortably.

About Me

I love any and all excuses to sew elaborate costumes (usually in the form of pretty dresses). I'm very bad at capturing the steps and challenges, though, so hopefully a blog will give me the incentive to do so!
